"The Fall of Phaeton" is a drawing by the renowned Italian Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, created circa 1533. This artwork is a highly detailed pen and ink drawing on paper, which depicts the dramatic and tragic fall of Phaeton, the son of the sun god Helios, from Greek mythology. According to the myth, Phaeton was granted a wish by his father to drive the sun chariot for a day. However, he lost control of the horses, leading to chaos on earth. To prevent further disaster, Zeus struck him down with a thunderbolt.

Michelangelo's representation of this scene is a masterful display of his skill in capturing human emotion and movement, as well as his understanding of anatomy. The drawing shows a tumultuous and dynamic composition, with figures appearing to tumble through space as Phaeton's body is hurled from the chariot. The work is imbued with a sense of energy and movement that is characteristic of Michelangelo's style.

The drawing is often cited as an example of Michelangelo's interest in complex narrative scenes and his ability to convey intense drama and action. It also reflects the Mannerist style that was becoming popular during the time, characterized by elongated figures and exaggerated poses.

"The Fall of Phaeton" is housed in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle, England. It remains an important work for the study of Michelangelo's graphic oeuvre and is frequently referenced in discussions of Renaissance art and mythology in visual culture. The drawing not only showcases Michelangelo's technical prowess but also offers insight into the themes of human ambition, divine retribution, and the fragility of mortal endeavors in the face of the natural and divine order.
